If you have an older model of iPad with a physical side-switch, this is likely to be toggled “on”. Switch-off the side-switch.


The behaviour of the side-switch is configurable between locking screen rotation - or muting the iPad:

Settings > General > [Use Side Switch To:] - select either Lock Rotation or Mute
